47: The dragon is riding on my face, the one I am bullying is Eagle Sauce!

"Uncle Wang has been working hard lately. Let's leave the upcoming testing work to Uncle Ma," said Lu Shenwei.

Hearing this, Wang Zizhong was immediately displeased.

"Old Ma wants to come and pick the peaches now? Not a chance!" Wang Zizhong said with a dark face.

Ma Quanlin chuckled and said, "Chairman, you heard him. It's not that Old Ma doesn't want to take over, but Director Wang is clutching his broom like a treasure."

"Hahaha, Uncle Wang, can your body still hold up?"

"I'm old but still vigorous; you can rest assured!"

Wang Zizhong slapped his chest loudly. Lu Shenwei nodded, "Alright then, let's start the longmao agricultural vehicle performance tests tomorrow."

"Old Wang, how will you solve the sales problem for the longmao agricultural vehicle?" Ma Quanlin asked.

The product has been built, but no matter how good the quality is, someone still has to buy it.

Wang Zizhong thought for a moment, "After the testing is complete, I will lead the team for grassroots promotion myself."

He had investigated that Qinchuan City's seven districts and six counties had an agricultural population of 6.23 million, excluding farmers working away from home.

There were at least 4 million people still farming at home; if the sales channels were smooth, they could sell at least 300,000 units.

"Grassroots promotion? Will that work?" Lu Shenwei muttered, as he only had a superficial understanding of agricultural vehicle sales.

"When I was running the Shanmao Tractor Factory, I made a lot of connections in the agricultural cooperatives. I can ask them for help."

Wang Zizhong said confidently, "Just wait for my good news."

Seeing Wang Zizhong so full of confidence, Lu Shenwei didn't say much else.

Ma Quanlin had researched the Dragon Xia agricultural vehicle market; brands like Shifeng Agricultural, Changhe Motorcycles, and Jinbei Auto had basically devoured the market.

Compared to them, the longmao agricultural vehicle only had an advantage in pricing.

Let Wang Zizhong take his people and mess around with it first; if it doesn't work, they'll deal with it then.

"Little Lu, the last batch of super steel cables has finished production and can be loaded and shipped at any time," Ma Quanlin reminded him.

Lu Shenwei said casually, "Tell Locke Dongde Niu Ding Company that they must pay the final balance when our trucks arrive at the port."

"I'll contact them right away." Ma Quanlin nodded and left.

Lu Shenwei dialed Gu Ming's number, "The showy goods purchased by the Eagle Sauce have all been shipped out. Do you have any further instructions?"

"Really? That's great! In the past, Eagle Sauce was always cheating us; now the situation has reversed," Gu Ming said excitedly.

In the past, relying on their cutting-edge technology, Eagle Sauce frequently squeezed Dragon Xia's living space, and the goods sold to Dragon Xia were often substandard.

If you are backward, you will get beaten. Back then, Dragon Xia had to manufacture 300 million shirts just to trade for one large aircraft from Eagle Sauce.

In one word: stifling!

Now Dragon Xia is rising comprehensively, only constrained by Eagle Sauce in some key areas, but Gu Ming believes such days will not last long.

"How is the feedback from the Navy regarding our batch of steel cables? Is there a need to improve the manufacturing process?" Lu Shenwei asked.

Gu Ming chuckled, "The Julong super steel cables have completely met the requirements for aircraft carrier arresting cables, so there's no need to increase costs for improvements for now."

"By the way, the guangyu silent aircraft carrier will undergo sea trials next month, and Elder Zhong specifically named you to attend."

Inviting me to attend?

Being able to visit Dragon Xia's first aircraft carrier, Lu Shenwei was naturally happy.

"Is there no problem with confidentiality? I'm just an ordinary person," Lu Shenwei asked.

"Of course there's no problem. You are the supplier of the aircraft carrier arresting cables. For the first combat test of the arresting cables, you must attend."

"With your word, I will definitely be there."

Lu Shenwei chuckled. Gu Ming added, "It is said that the Izumo refit is almost complete. When the time comes, we will compete on the same stage and dampen Japan's arrogance."

"A country of barbarians. After being rich for a few years, they don't even know who they are anymore," Lu Shenwei said with disdain.

"Just a clown. I'll send a special plane to pick you up next month. Don't forget."

Gu Ming finished the call hurriedly; the aircraft carrier sea trials were imminent, and there was still a lot of foundational work to do.

Across the ocean, at the headquarters of Locke Dongde Niu Ding Company.

"Has Longxia Company gone mad? They want us to pay the final balance before it's even loaded onto the ship?" William roared in anger.

The assistant explained in a low voice, "Julong Steel is slandering our company for lacking credibility, so they insist on payment before loading."

"No way! They didn't ask around. Lockheed Martin has a global 3A+ credit rating," William said proudly.

"Alright, I'll reply to them immediately." The assistant said and started sending an email.

Lu Shenwei, who was studying factory expansion, frowned, "They want us to ship without paying the final balance? In their dreams!"

A game of chess across the Pacific Ocean officially began, with Lockheed Martin stubbornly refusing to pay the final balance.

And Julong Steel's approach was even more ruthless; Lu Shenwei directly had someone drive the trucks back.

"The cruise ship has been waiting at the port for half a day, and they actually took the goods back?" William was furious.

The assistant advised, "President, why don't we pay 90% of the payment first and hold back the rest?"

The Eagle Sauce Defense Department had already urged them several times, and the Japanese companies had also come twice.

Lockheed Martin could breach the contract with Julong Steel, but they absolutely could not afford to offend the Eagle Sauce Defense Department.

"Damn Julong Steel. Let's do that for now," William compromised.

To earn excess profits, there is nothing one cannot compromise on.

"Pay 90% of the final balance first? Sure," Lu Shenwei said nonchalantly.

Ma Quanlin nodded, "Then I'll ship the goods."

"Ship? Ship what? Wait until they wire the full final balance, then we'll talk about whether to ship or not."

Lu Shenwei had figured it out; all that talk about Eagle Sauce companies valuing international reputation is just bullshit.

Whenever breaching a contract earns more than a normal transaction, Eagle Sauce companies don't care about international reputation.

And what 3A+ credit rating?

Who doesn't know that the four major international credit rating agencies are all lackeys of Eagle Sauce.

"Will this work?"

Ma Quanlin was still honest, with his mind full of shipping.

"Uncle Ma, haven't you heard a saying from Eagle Sauce's Wall Street: discard useless morality, and you can earn more!"

Faced with Lu Shenwei's shocking statement, Ma Quanlin hesitated, "Our Longxia Company values integrity the most when doing business."

"Uncle Ma, don't forget, they breached the contract first. The sage said, if you repay malice with kindness, how do you repay kindness? Repay malice with justice!"

Eagle Sauce is already flying a dragon in our faces; what the hell is the point of talking about martial virtue?

Jie-Hua-Fa, take this lightning five-whip combo!

Faced with Lu Shenwei's rogue tactics, William across the ocean was so angry he was jumping up and down.

In the past, he always used rogue tactics to deal with gentlemen, but now, the other party is even more of a rogue than him.

They took the money and didn't ship at all, and what's worse is that he couldn't even make a fuss about it.

"Pay them the rest of the final balance. Damn Julong Steel, I will let you know what a stupid move it is to anger Lockheed Martin!"

William was furious but could only pay up obediently.

Upon receiving the last payment, Lu Shenwei immediately had the translator blacklist Lockheed Martin's email.

In the past, it was always foreign companies bullying Longxia Company; now, the roles have reversed.

"Little Lu, in the last few days, our steel pipe sales have been very abnormal," Ma Quanlin suddenly said.
